We also provide a light vehicle maintenance and repair service including
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) for Taxi and Private Hire Licensed vehicles is camera and audio recording equipment in vehicles where passengers are present. CCTV for Taxi & Private Hire is regulated by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), some local authorities have made the installation a mandatory condition, others have remained optional,
Each Local Authority has it's own CCTV for Taxi & Private Hire Licensing Policy which outlines their requirements. The policy that regulates locally licensed vehicles varies.
SAFE Systems CCTV Limited are approved CCTV for Taxi installers for more than 100 Local Authorities including TfL (Transport for London), Portsmouth, Manchester, Southampton, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Salford, Edinburgh, Mid Sussex, Lewes and Eastbourne, Rotherham, North East Derbyshire, Guildford, Cambridge, South Cambridge, to name but a few.
SAFE Systems CCTV Limited are the market leading supplier for Taxi & Private Hire CCTV, our system is flexible enough to adapt to any and all local requirements. We use a Solid State Drive (SSD) to provide an average one month recording cycle.
Data Protection is governed by United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulations (UKGDPR) and Data Protection Act (DPA) Regulations which are enforced by the ICO, there are serious consequences for breaching an individuals data protection rights.
Each Local Authority determines their own criteria to state what is or is not allowed to be installed as part of a CCTV for Taxi System, but we are pleased to say that we have assisted in creating a criteria that is growing into a national standard.
A CCTV System is very different to a dash cam in many ways, which is why CCTV for Taxis may be used to record internally in taxi and Private Hire vehicles, a dashcam can be utilised to record external images only in order to be UKGDPR compliant.
We have a nationwide team of approved local installers for our Fully UKGDPR compliant, secure, encryped and password protected CCTV for Taxi system.
SAFE Systems CCTV Limited have introduced a dashcam which was specifically developed for SAFE Systems CCTV Limited by Road Angel during 2024, ready for release in 2025; an external view only dashcam that is fully compliant for use by the licensed Taxi & Private Hire trade. the first front and rear dashcam that includes two key features. Firstly, audio is permanently disabled. secondly, it has parking mode and winter mode to ensure clear images, and assist in the event of a collision when parked.
There are a lot of sellers providing dashcams who target the taxi market without an understanding of the regulations or licensing policies that drivers must adhere to.
Some drivers have been prosecuted and lost their livlihoods due to breaching data regulations causing serious consequences for indviduals who were unaware.
If you would like to purchase a dashcam system for your Taxi or Private Hire vehicle,
We have tried and tested SD card systems and found them to be far too unreliable and with very limited recording cycle capabilities when compared to a Hard drive system which goes on and on and provides an average of 30 days recording cycle even with 4 cameras in operation 24/7.
As with all other in car CCTV systems, (in fact most domestic CCTV systems too) the motherboard is run on the LINUX platform as it is far more reliable than a windows based chipset in such settings.
All systems have an LED indicator panel to show power status and maybe other settings, our system includes (where allowed) a visible monitor which goes that step further by actually showing the images as a live view to verify the camera lenses are fully functional.
Our cameras are far smaller than those of most of our competitors, with a 170 degree wide angle lens in order to make them far more discreet and fit for purpose within a confined space such as a saloon car.
Fully tax deductable as a business expense.
If you would like to purchase a SAFE Systems CCTV system, we fully understand and appreciate this could be an unexpected and unscheduled purchase. We offer 0% finance to customers for 3 to 6 months. We are only able to offer finance against the CCTV product, not against the installation fee, however we are very pleased to be able to provide this to our customers because for many it goes a long way to ensure payments can be spread and broken down in to more managable chunks.

We have worked with Safe Systems since first proposing the introduction of mandatory CCTV in all our licensed vehicles. our relationship has been much more focused on working with Safe Systems who are one of our preferred suppliers of in cab CCTV The quality of the products and subsequent fitting of the system has shown to be excellent, and after fitting service has been professional and accommodating. I would have no hesitation in recommending Safe Systems to provide high quality in vehicle CCTV systems

Wayne Cooper professional driver
I went with this set up, and all been good so far. In fact, it’s more than good. Professional installation of a product designed to follow ALL rules, regulations & recommendations. Got mine done, registered with ICO, and more than happy. Yes you can get cheaper, BUT you can’t get better !! You can’t put a price on personal safety etc. If it’s fully legal and what’s needed, then I’m happy to have a couple of Costa Coffee’s less each week to pay for it. 5*

Claire Leckie
Great company to deal with from start to finish. We had over a 1 year delay due to the local council's policy being out of date, Dave kept us right with all of this to ensure everything done in the correct order. Eventually we got clearance from the local council and contacted Dave to arrange a fitting date. We arrived on the day of fitting and although they ran into multiple issues because of our conversions within the bus BUT the persevered and eventually they managed to get the job done. Dave and his team went above & beyond for us and completed the 4 installations in 2 days. Great guys, fab company and great value for money!
